ICON'S JUPITER-2 DRAWING

Updated: March 27, 2009

Here's a rare Icons Lost in Space Jupiter-2 Original Ink
Cutaway Design Schematic Drawing, detailing the amazing
interior of the Spacecraft, as it was intended to be
manufactured by the legendary and controversial Film &
Television replica company. Hand-rendered by Artist
Tone Rodriguez. Rodriguez was discovered at Icons as a
deliver driver. Once his extraordinary talents were seen,
he became Icons Conceptual Design Artist for Product
Development and Licensing. "Tone" went onto become a
popular Comic Book Artist, the industry he still works
in today. One of Icons most difficult projects was its
scratch-built Jupiter-2 Miniature replica. Scaled from
one of the original 4 ft. beauty miniatures utilized
during the production of the original series, and owned
by Icons Vice President James Latta.

This drawing was hand-rendered by Tone Rodriguez in black
ink on thick white Artboard, with corrections in white-out,
over 10 years ago in 1997. This piece was not only
utilized as a reference schematic for Licensing approval,
Product development and Fabrication, but also the master
for a limited run of black and white copies, which were
sent to Icons customers.

Contrary to popular belief, the Jupiter-2 miniature replica
was designed, fabricated, mastered, and prototyped to
completion. The interior shown in the drawing was also
prototyped completely. Of which there are photos of it in
circulation on the web."
